An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations
Chapter 44 The Great Monster Invasion came to an end.
That is, if you are really an aristocrat.Besides, that Absolute Zero likes you very much, right?I have been to the capital several times, but I never thought that Absolute Zero would be so close to anyone.I originally wanted to use this to threaten Absolute Zero to persuade the guildmaster, but it seems that I was thinking too much. "Xicui narrowed her eyes happily and smiled.
"On the carriage that day, I wanted to see if this trick was possible, but it turned out to be completely impossible. I only moved a finger, and I was almost killed by Yidao and the orcs?" The gazes they cast, the restrained Murderous aura, a threat of death swept towards him, Xi Cui hadn't felt this threat for a long time since he was promoted to S rank.
Since he just wanted to know if it could be done, and had no intention of actually harming Lieser, that's why the two of them just let him go.If Xi Cui intended to harm him, he would have been decapitated in the carriage that day.
"Hey." It turned out that this kind of thing had happened.Lieser recalled the situation that day, when Xi Cui tilted her head slightly, and leaned over to stare at him.
"Don't you think it's possible for me to succeed now?" "You're obviously not serious, don't say such scary things." Indeed.Seeing Liesel's funny smile, Xi Cui also stood up straight.
Shooting Lieser won't do him any good, it's just a stupid way of sacrificing himself and everyone around him.Xi Cui was not so dull that he didn't understand this, nor was he so arrogant that he would look down on Liesel because his class was lower than his own.
In the final analysis, Xi Cui came up with the idea of taking him as a hostage when he heard that there was an adventurer suspected to be a nobleman.That night, after seeing Liesel's dominating figure in the hall of the royal city, it was impossible for him to think about this kind of thing again.
"It's not that I can't do anything, but whether there is a way to succeed. Did I say it? You are full of flaws." "Of course I am not an opponent of class S." Lieser is indeed full of flaws, but can you really Attacking his flaws is another matter.
Xi Cui naturally looked away.There are a few people hidden around, he is quite sensitive to breath, but even he can only vaguely detect the existence of the other party.At first it was thought that Lieser was the target of their surveillance, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It's not surveillance, it's guarding.If Xi Cui dared to touch Lissel's hair now, the other party would definitely show up immediately.
"(I can still detect the number of people...)" If there were only one or two people, he could still handle it when he took Liesel as a hostage.But there might be as many as four people around. Even if they were rank S, it would be too reckless to challenge all of them at once. After all, Xi Cui didn't really intend to take Lieser as a hostage and use it effectively in battle.
"Lissel, have you noticed?" "What's the matter?" "The eyes and ears of guards or surveillance." "Ah, they really followed me." Judging by the way he nodded, he obviously knew the origins of those people. Although he didn't notice the breath, Lieser could guess what was going on.Xi Cui suddenly became concerned about something, so she asked, "If those people weren't here, what do you think we would be talking about?" Lissel blinked and said calmly, "Delicious black tea Let's talk about the topic." "...Have you never stopped thinking? I am obviously stronger in terms of strength, but no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to beat you?" "What do you mean?" Seeing Lieser being beaten After laughing, Xi Cui also laughed with a somewhat unconvinced expression.It is really impossible for him to compete with this person - Xi Cui looked at the C-rank adventurer in front of him, and had this unbelievable thought.
Volume IV 56 The breakfast time of the Liesel team is basically different.
It's just that they can easily have breakfast together if there are commissions or common things to do.Because Lieser always tried his best to sleep until he couldn't sleep any more, and after Jieer woke him up, he often sat at the dining table together by the way.
There is no important matter that requires the whole team to gather today, Liesel is enjoying breakfast leisurely by himself.Jie Er went out, I don't know if he went out last night and still hasn't come back, or he just left the hotel early in the morning, but it is rare to see him stay in the hotel all day long.
"My lord!" "My lord, good morning—" The breakfast was quite large, and Liesel stopped his hands, hesitating what to do.He is a man anyway, of course he can stuff these foods into his stomach, but he still feels too full if he eats too much.Hearing the childish voice calling him, Lieser turned around.It seems there is a way.
The little girl who lived in this hotel for a long time stood there with two little boys nearby.They quickly approached Lieser, holding textbooks in their hands, obviously the purpose of coming here was the same as usual.
"Can you teach us to do our homework, and I'll help you eat the rest!" "I'll help you eat too!" "You guys are good at negotiating." "Hey!" In the chair next to Lieser, the two little boys also held their books firmly and sat on the empty seats.Since Lieser reminded them, they obediently did not run around the restaurant, and would definitely sit down and eat when eating.
Several times, Lieser had seen their mother complaining angrily: Why did Lieser obediently obey what Lieser said when the child didn't listen to her?He always felt a little sorry.
"Auntie clearly knows that the nobleman can't eat it, why do you pretend to be so much?" "No, this is the amount I can barely finish, and she has completely seen through it." "Then nobleman, why don't you eat all of it?" Light?" "If you eat too much, you will fall asleep." "So it is!" The children nodded.Lieser smiled when he saw this, he was really a group of straightforward children.
As Lieser, it was impossible for him to have the concept of "giving the leftovers to others", but he was not particularly disgusted with this kind of thing.This flexible way of thinking is probably the main reason why he came to another world and can still enjoy the status quo.
"Pay attention to the way you hold the spoon, it's finally getting straight." "Ah, I forgot!" Seeing the children eating the leftover bread with relish, Lieser reminded one of the boys.The boy didn't complain, and obediently corrected the gesture of holding the spoon. Liesel also tilted his head to show his approval.The children's manners have indeed improved little by little, and their mothers are very happy to see the results.
Seeing the young girl tearing off the bread and using the butter knife proficiently, her parents were so surprised that they couldn't speak, and even ran to thank Lieser.As expected of a girl, although she is still young, she always learns graceful manners very quickly, this was Liesel's answer at the time.
"Thank you for your hospitality—" "Thank you for your hospitality, my lord!" "Well, thank you too. I'll clear up the tableware, please prepare your stationery first." "Okay—" Listening to the children's obedient replies, Lieser Pick up the tray.
These good boys were very different from his former students.Thinking of his beloved student showing off his exquisite teleportation magic skills generously every time in class, and launching a magnificent escape, Liesel thought so emotionally, and brought the bowl and plate over. "Really, I'll be fine if I come." The hostess said with a smile, grabbing the tray from his hand.
She tidied up the dinner plates neatly, wiped down the table where the children were sitting around, and left again.So, maybe this is his own inadequacy, Lieser began to review his failure experience at the ice fruit stand.He made up his mind that he must do better next time, and he did not intend to give up at all.
"My lord, sit next to me, this way!" "My honor." The girl patted the chair, and Lieser also took the opportunity to sit down.
"Before you came here, did you tell mom well?" "Mom kicked me out with a smile!" "Mom asked me to tell the nobles, please take care of me, and said that I want to give you a present, But too, uh...too panic?" It's really hard to imagine what the average housewife would give an adventurer, but what does panic mean?This is obviously not because he has become more like an adventurer.Why?Lieser tilted his head and took the textbooks handed over by the children.
"Ah, it's a little bit more difficult." Simple arithmetic, and slightly more difficult application problems.Although it is not beyond the basic range, but the difficulty has increased by a stage, so let the children stump.
"Have you tried to solve it yourself?" "I have tried! If you ask without trying, the nobleman will not answer." "A positive learning attitude is very important." Lieser is not a teacher, but an adventurer , there is no obligation to accompany children who just want to be lazy.If the three children were not going to study hard, Lieser would have dismissed them perfectly and started reading his own books.
It was the same when facing the former student, every time he disappeared without a trace, Liesel would always read a book instead of looking for him.After going on like this for a month, the students didn't run away anymore. Until now, Lieser still remembers his bitter expression at that time.
"My lord, let me show you!" "Please!" "" The three children scrambled to hand out the paper that they had worked hard to calculate, and it was really fulfilling to guide them.
"Let me see... Well, you all worked hard, and your calculations are much better than before." "Really!" "Well, really. Then let's see where the calculations are wrong..." Lieser just said this In other words, a strange and forceful voice came from outside the restaurant.
"Excuse me, is the owner of the inn here!" "Here, come!" The hostess replied as she walked towards the entrance, Liesel listened to the movement outside, and continued to guide the children regardless of her own business.They began to recalculate the wrong questions. While racking their brains, the children challenged again based on the clues given by Liesel.Just as he was watching this scene, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened.
"Mr. Lieser, is it convenient for you to come over?" "Okay." Lieser seemed to have encountered similar things before, and Lieser stood up while thinking. "You're still teaching us homework!" The children complained dissatisfiedly, Liesel apologized to them, promised with a wry smile that he would come back immediately, and then walked towards the entrance.
That's it, Lieser nodded inwardly when he saw the men blocking the entrance.The group wore silver armor with the national emblem of Parutdal engraved on it.The knight who was the guardian of the country was staring at Liesel.
Seeing the worried expression of the hostess, Lieser waved her hand and told her not to worry, and asked her to go back to work at the hotel, and then spoke to the knight standing at the front.
"My lord knight actually came to this kind of place in person, what's your business?" Seeing Lieser's leisurely smile, the other party's eyes widened in astonishment, but he immediately regained his composure.As expected of a capable knight, Lieser praised in his heart.
Most of the knights in the capital are destined to become knights.For the second and third sons of aristocratic families who cannot inherit the status of patriarch, becoming a knight is the highest honor. If there are many outstanding knights in the family, they can also shine on the lintel.
Therefore, in order not to disgrace the family, they received strict education since childhood, and they were not sloppy in civil and military aspects.The knights never slackened in training, and the strength they worked hard to cultivate has won the trust of the people.
"You are the one who led the Yidao team... the adventurer, right?" "Yes." Sure enough, he confirmed it again.
"About the Great Invasion, we have something to ask, and I hope you will come with us to the Royal City." "Is it the Great Invasion?" Lieser left all the aftermath matters to Shad, but in fact, Insay also brought them several times Follow-up information.Although I couldn't write too much detail in the letter, I heard that the aftermath work has finally come to an end recently.
At first glance, Insay's letter seemed to be just gossip, but it mentioned that the mastermind of the invasion, the Alien Dominator, had been extradited back to Salus during the founding celebration period.Between the lines reveals the resentment of wanting to personally punish him in the country, as well as the complacency of successfully obtaining all kinds of advantages in diplomacy.
In other words, the relevant incidents have finally come to an end in the capital, and the upper echelons finally have time to take care of other aspects.
"(No wonder the invitations from nobles from all sides have increased recently.)" Repairing the relationship with neighboring countries is a top priority. If the speed is restored to the original state, then the next focus of the country's high-level attention will be those beautiful women who have used powerful magic beyond human cognition.
At this time, the only "one-knife team" that had intersected with them naturally became the target of public criticism.
"Which Your Excellency invited you?" "It's a duke who wants to ask for advice." The other party sent a knight to greet him, and it seems that the purpose is not purely for beauty or power.The goblins showed their absolute power in the great invasion, did the nobles want to grasp their identities?Even if they are not on alert or regarded as a threat, the higher-ups may judge that they cannot be allowed to wander outside.
Lieser and his team have met the mastermind behind the scenes, and the other purpose of having a conversation with them is presumably to keep their mouths shut.Unexpectedly, the duke went out in person, which seemed to have alarmed the high-ranking nobles, Liesel thought to himself, smiling apologetically.
"I'm very sorry, please allow me to decline." "...What is the reason for the refusal?" The knights never thought that this trip would be rejected, and they showed a wavering look for a moment.
"I'm afraid I can't speak more clearly than Earl Shad's report. If the content of the conversation is empty, it would be bad for the Duke to laugh at it?" "The Duke also has something to think about those people who are only mentioned in the report as your friends." Ask." "That's right, we have nothing to say except what's in the report." Is the other party's goal really a goblin?No, no one would have guessed that they were fairies, only magicians with great power.Because of the violence of the alien ruler this time, perhaps it is not necessarily true that the higher-ups have stepped up vigilance against outstanding magicians.However, in the eyes of those who know the truth, the two are clearly far apart.
"Please tell your lord the Duke." Liesel urged sincerely.
"They don't pose a threat to anyone, and they don't want to show up in front of people. Although they are powerful magicians, they don't intend to show off their power." After the two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, the knight who was talking to Liesel slowed down. Slowly nodded.
Great, Liesel also narrowed his eyes and smiled when he saw this.Well, the children have almost finished solving the problem, right?He turned around and was about to turn back. It would be better to move on to the next question earlier before the children lost their concentration.
Anyway, what the other party wanted to say was finished.But just as Lieser grabbed the doorknob, the knights stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" "We will be responsible for conveying the matter about the magician, but we have not consulted about the great invasion." "About this aspect, it is exactly as the earl's report said." Through Rey conveyed that Lieser knew that Shad's report mentioned the minimum information.
In other words, the key points are all written in the report, as long as the upper management has the information, there will be no problem.Regarding the actions of Lieser and his party, if you really want to say it, it can only be explained by "adventurers show their talents in the great invasion".
As for the details not written in the report, it is impossible for him to report to the Duke in person.
"Why are you so persistent in refusing to go with me?" "The reason has been explained to you just now." "But you are too stubborn." "To be honest, there have been more and more invitations from nobles recently. If I agree this time If you go to the city with everyone, it will be difficult to refuse next time.
"Why do adventurers refuse the invitation?" "" There is no need to agree, right?Not all adventurers want to work with a high-paying client. "The knight had a vigilant look in his eyes, the reason Lieser knew it well, but still pretended not to notice it.
"My lord -- let's do the math --" "Okay, wait for me a moment." Hearing the immature voice from the other side of the door, Lieser replied, looking straight into the eyes of the knight.Seeing the other party's stern eyes flicker slightly, Lieser showed a calm smile.
"Besides, I'm teaching the children to do their homework now." He replied calmly, and the knights froze in place for an instant, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
They really can't believe it.These people are knights who swear allegiance to the country and the king. Because of this, they couldn't believe for a moment that someone would refuse the summoning of the country's high-level officials on the grounds of children's reading clubs.
It seemed that they were not good at dealing with unexpected situations, Liesel laughed amusedly, and then spoke softly as if whispering.
"During the great invasion, I just happened to appear in front of the lord, do you suspect that I secretly conspired with the mastermind?
"The moment the monster breaks through the solid city gate and invades the city, the magic shield immediately unfolds on the square, as if the timing is right. No matter how good a magician is, before casting such a powerful magic shield, he must do Prepare accordingly.
If the person who prepared the magic shield was a powerful person from the commercial country, it could be interpreted as a precautionary measure for emergencies; but it is different if adventurers and their friends are involved.Being able to prepare the magic shield before the incident happened meant that they knew the mastermind's intentions, so the knights were wary.
Perhaps they thought that the reason why Liesel was unwilling to go with him was because there was something ulterior about it.
"I won't say that I did this out of pure goodwill, and I can understand everyone's thoughts. But..." Lieser understood that no matter what he said now, it was impossible to completely clear up the suspicion in this regard.Once the doubts are endless, and the knights' thoughts are justifiable, he even feels that this kind of speculation is quite reasonable.
But...he tapped the corner of his mouth thoughtfully.For the sake of the children who were complaining boredly in the restaurant, "Isn't it alright?", Lieser also wanted to avoid procrastinating this question and answer.Since you can't end this conversation on your own, you can only try to get the other party to go home on their own initiative.
"...This kind of thinking makes people uncomfortable." Just this sentence is enough.
The knights were born nobles, and they were calm on the surface, but they could easily detect the hidden intentions behind the words.Since they were adhering to the dignified reserve of a knight, Liesel said so, they couldn't do anything.
Hurting the dignity of the other party, and forcing the other party to go with them... such a reckless and rude move, it is impossible for them who value their reputation to do it.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to insult you." "I am, please forgive me for speaking so rudely to Lord Knight." In fact, Lissel didn't mind at all.He immediately recovered his polite attitude, and then added something as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Can I trouble you to pass on two things to the higher-ups?" "...What's the matter?" "First, we have our own discretion when it comes to keeping our mouths shut. And..." Lissel and the others had no intention of spreading it around The news of the mastermind behind the scenes does not intend to interfere with this matter.
"If you need to entrust by name, please do it through the guild." After finishing speaking, Lieser turned and returned to the restaurant, this time without looking back.
He answered at least the questions the other party wanted to ask, so that the knight would not return empty-handed and be blamed by the higher-ups.Lieser used, respected, and protected their self-esteem as knights, and these people were not so dull that they didn't understand Lieser's intentions.This time, the knights didn't stop him, greeted the hostess and walked out of the hotel.
They faced the front with proper demeanor, and they were still the envious knights, just like when they came.
"It's really a group of people with excellent abilities, who know when to back down." They seemed to have come in a carriage, and there was a neighing of horses outside the hotel, followed by the sound of wheels gradually moving away.
"Is that the knight who came here just now? Wow, this is the first time I have seen it so close!" "Do you like the knight?" "Well, it feels very powerful!" "The armor is very handsome!" Do you like it?" Liesel sat down on the chair leisurely after taking the answer sheet from the children rushing to hand it over.
Given his status as a knight, they could have sneered at him, saying he was just a mere adventurer.But they are still willing to respect each other, observe etiquette, and are respectable gentlemen.As for him deliberately taking advantage of this point, Lieser has no way to refute it.
"The knight is very handsome." "That's right—" The children expressed their impressions of their embrace in the most understandable words.
Orod sits at the apex of these knights, and as Rey said, he must have been quite a talent.I really want to see what Jie Er would look like when there is no Jie Er in front of him.
Lieser smiled and said to the excited children, "You guys are doing great." Right now, the guild is buzzing with tension.
A touch of bright red, opposite to the gorgeous emerald.Everyone couldn't help being attracted by those two people, and at the same time ran out of the guild as if fleeing.No one would have thought that someone would dare to provoke class S. If it was a small character who was beaten to the ground three or two times, the onlookers would be more or less willing to make a fuss... But the challenger in front of him is not small, and being involved in this fight is not a big deal Kidding.
"I said you, did you say something contemptuous to our captain?" Irevan threw the knife repeatedly in one hand, and snorted provocatively.
"Ah, you mean about the hostage?" Xi Cui confirmed without hesitation.
The knife deftly thrown into the air was still in Yi Raven's hand, and at the same time, Xi Cui felt a chill-like murderous aura.This murderous look really doesn't match this person, Xi Cui just wondered, and immediately realized that she was wrong.
Behind Irevan, a guild official saw two powerful figures preparing to fight, and was about to flee first, but at this moment, Stad was tied to a chair—and that Stad was watching indifferently. here.
"(Almost forgot, he seems to be very close to Liesel.)" I never thought that the staff member called "Absolute Zero" would be so close to someone, and Xi Cui still can't believe it.Moreover, he had already vaguely noticed that the murderous aura emitted by that person was not at all like an ordinary guild employee.
Xi Cui maintained her usual attitude, paying attention to Stard's actions out of the corner of her eyes, and at the same time, she did not take her attention away from Irevan who was directly in front of her.
"Oh, you just planted several eyes and ears around Lieser? They are too good at erasing breath, right? I can barely count the number." "I didn't ask you that." Raven whirled his hands back.
An action intended to attract the eye.But Xi Cui understood that once he looked at the knife, everything would be over, and the other party would use all means other than the knife to attack him immediately.
"I have no intention of that at all now, and have I apologized to Lissel?" "What did the captain say?" He said with a smile, "Anyway, you haven't done anything to me yet, I won't mind." It's." "Yes...that's very much like the captain's style." Irevan looked away as if giving up.The next moment - the tip of the knife was already approaching Xi Cui's eyes, obviously he threw the knife while keeping his wrist still.Xi Cui pulled out the dagger at her waist and flicked it away, then raised her arm to resist the whip-like kick.He heard his bones creaking slightly, but he didn't pay attention to it. The other hand immediately spread out the longbow to block the sword aimed at the neck.
For a moment, the eyes of the two intersected each other.
"But I just don't like you, so there's nothing I can do about it?" "I never seriously thought about kidnapping him...that's a stupid plan to kill myself." The sound of cracking metal and percussion sounded one after another , In the confrontation that is difficult to catch with the naked eye, the intermingled dialogue between the two appears to be particularly calm.
"Some things, even if that person allows it, I can't forgive it." "I have no intention of harming Lissel. Hey, you can almost trust me, right?" "So, I just said I won't care about you What do you think?" "If it's just to vent your anger, isn't this too radical?" One person used a bow as a shield and brandished a dagger, while the other threw a small knife and hacked with a sword.The martial arts of both sides are beyond ordinary people, but others can see that Xi Cui is at a disadvantage.
Weapon suitability is too poor.Xi Cui thought calmly, avoiding the sword blade that was stabbing towards the eyeball, and then swung the longbow violently to open the distance.
"I also understand how you value the captain. I was wrong this time, and I apologize." Xi Cui still frowned slightly, but he felt sorry from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing the other party's blunt apology, Irevan lost interest.There was no point in continuing, he clicked his tongue and put away his weapon, Xi Cui also put down his dagger upon seeing this.
Neither side was serious.Now that Liesel has forgiven Xi Cui, Yi Raven can only accept it.If he really wanted to take his life, Irevan would not choose to provoke him in the middle of the guild hall.
"You pay for the guild's repairs." "The holes are almost all made by your knife? Did you do it on purpose? Hey..." Watching him leave the guild with his snake-like red ponytail, Xi Cui The face with an angry expression looked even more unconvinced again.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have avoided those knives that Irevan threw unceremoniously, he should have knocked them down.They have all been promoted to rank S and have disputes with other adventurers, and they have to help the guild clean up the aftermath and pay for repairs. The captain will definitely be angry when he hears this, and will be laughed at by others.
Even though she knew it was her own fault, Xi Cui still approached the counter a little bit helplessly.
"Hey, how much is the repair cost?" "Don't talk about it, please tell me what's going on with the hostage." I originally planned to use him to threaten the guild—how could Xi Cui say that?
If this is also in that guy's calculation, then his character is really bad.Xi Cui grumbled in her heart, forced an amount slightly higher than estimated to the counter, and left the guild quickly.
It was a little before Sitri met Irevan at the Adventurer's Guild.
In a reception room of the guild, Jie Er frowned fiercely, sucked a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath skillfully, and lit the fire.Since meeting Lieser, he deliberately cut down on a few cigarettes, but he didn't feel any discomfort, which even surprised him.
Even so, if you ask him if there is a way to stop smoking at all, that's another matter.As long as Lieser didn't ask him to quit smoking, Jieer probably couldn't do without tobacco.
"I didn't expect you to really want to go to the appointment." "What stupid things are you talking about, you didn't ask me to come?" Hearing the other party say this with a somewhat interested expression, Jie Er replied with a cigarette in his mouth.
The two are not meeting for the first time, the other party's popularity is too high, but this is indeed their first conversation. The captain of the S-rank team sat on the sofa opposite Jie Er, holding hands calmly.
"So, what's the matter?" Facing people whose age and class were above him, Jie Er showed no signs of timidity.The other party didn't mind, just smiled calmly.
"Our family, Xi Cui, has been taken care of by you. That child is too talented, and his class has risen early, so he can't blend in with the surroundings... Maybe it's because you are not afraid of him and not restrained. This attitude makes him very happy. , I often hear him talking about your captain recently." This is why Jie Er is sitting in front of him at the moment.Lieser had recently been in contact with an S-rank adventurer, and this person in front of him was the captain of that S-rank.If not, even if he heard Stadt tell him that "there is a class S waiting for you in the reception room", Jieer would not go to the appointment.
He had roughly heard about it from Lieser.This person intends to get married as an opportunity to resign from the adventurer's job, and the guild is trying to keep him... Also, he has heard of the reason why Xi Cui approached Lissel.
"Let's talk about the ugly things first, don't think about using me as your bargaining chip." He didn't come here to chat, Jie Er cut to the point.Sure enough, the man smiled wryly, and Jie Er turned to him with very sharp eyes.
"Of course, I won't do this without asking for your consent, so I invite you to come here to negotiate." "You think so, the guild may not." He extinguished more than half of the cigarettes left , said sarcastically.The captain looked embarrassed when he heard this, and folded his arms.
"The guild leader here is not obsessed with power. He told us that as long as we go to the guild a few more times, the headquarters should also give up... But we haven't received a positive answer." "This kind of thing doesn't need the headquarters. Permission." "Oh, don't say that, you have to take into account the positions of both parties." Adventurers above Rank A only need to ask for the permission of the guild leader to withdraw from the membership.But the influence of class S is too huge, it is really difficult for a guild leader to make a decision on his own.
That being the case, the guild should have stipulated this from the very beginning?This is Irevan's view.Liesel believes that if adventurers can choose to respond in the way of "Who cares about you, I quit!", then there should be fewer troubles if you choose a person who is more close to the people like the guild leader to take charge.
"The headquarters said that we hope that we will wait until the next S-level team is cultivated before leaving." "I don't know how many years the next S-level team will appear." "Right? The guild leader said the same. Although you can choose to refuse firmly , but Xi Cui and the others will continue to stay in this business." I hope that their reputation will not be implicated before leaving.The man said with a wry smile, Jie Er frowned displeased.
"Anyway, I shouldn't be involved." "Haha, there is no other candidate." Since there are fewer S-level adventurers, it is enough to find someone to replace them, so they will take a fancy to Jie Er.There are rumors that Jieer is the strongest adventurer today, as long as he rises to rank S, it will definitely be enough to fill the vacancy.
This negotiation is just to discuss this matter?Jie Er raised his hand to cover his mouth, and lit a second cigarette.
Illustration p265 "Seeing that you have stayed at the B level and have not moved, do you plan to go up to the S level?" Between the fingers, move away from the lips.
"...No at first. But it's different recently, it will go up sooner or later." "Sooner or later, how long?" He recalled the figure that was firmly engraved in his mind, and remembered that that person once declared noblely: No one is allowed to use himself as an excuse to derogate the value of Jie'er.
If you really want to say that, Jie Er himself is the same.He didn't want to lower the value of Liesel because of his low class, even if the guild's adventurer class was just an evaluation made by others, which was not worth mentioning.
If asked whether he was satisfied with staying in class B, he couldn't be sure.Since Liesel said that S rank is suitable for him, he should be promoted to S rank.
"The guildmaster said that with the strength of a sword, it is not impossible to immediately rise to the S rank." The wording seemed ambiguous, and the man spoke cautiously.
"You have already accumulated countless merits, and you can successfully handle the entrustment of A-rank. After you reach A-rank, you will definitely be able to advance to S-rank." "So?" "Can you please speed up your promotion and immediately go up to S-rank?" ?” Jie Er reached out and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Very selfish." "I know." The man's eyes were firm, and he was ready to be accused.Even if Jie Er draws his sword and strikes now, the man will say that he is the one who is wrong.But Jie Er is not such a gentle man, and will not be moved by such a small matter.
"It's not good for me." "I'll make arrangements for you to be promoted to S rank immediately." "That's bad." Jie Er said it as a matter of course, and the man's eyes widened in disbelief.For a character who will rise to rank S sooner or later, this really cannot be regarded as a definite benefit...but he didn't expect Jie Er to conclude that this is a disadvantage.
Does this point have anything to do with the "it will take a while" he just mentioned?
"On the carriage that day, I wanted to see if this trick was possible, but it turned out to be completely impossible. I only moved a finger, and I was almost killed by Yidao and the orcs?" The gazes they cast, the restrained Murderous aura, a threat of death swept towards him, Xi Cui hadn't felt this threat for a long time since he was promoted to S rank.
Since he just wanted to know if it could be done, and had no intention of actually harming Lieser, that's why the two of them just let him go.If Xi Cui intended to harm him, he would have been decapitated in the carriage that day.
"Hey." It turned out that this kind of thing had happened.Lieser recalled the situation that day, when Xi Cui tilted her head slightly, and leaned over to stare at him.
"Don't you think it's possible for me to succeed now?" "You're obviously not serious, don't say such scary things." Indeed.Seeing Liesel's funny smile, Xi Cui also stood up straight.
Shooting Lieser won't do him any good, it's just a stupid way of sacrificing himself and everyone around him.Xi Cui was not so dull that he didn't understand this, nor was he so arrogant that he would look down on Liesel because his class was lower than his own.
In the final analysis, Xi Cui came up with the idea of taking him as a hostage when he heard that there was an adventurer suspected to be a nobleman.That night, after seeing Liesel's dominating figure in the hall of the royal city, it was impossible for him to think about this kind of thing again.
"It's not that I can't do anything, but whether there is a way to succeed. Did I say it? You are full of flaws." "Of course I am not an opponent of class S." Lieser is indeed full of flaws, but can you really Attacking his flaws is another matter.
Xi Cui naturally looked away.There are a few people hidden around, he is quite sensitive to breath, but even he can only vaguely detect the existence of the other party.At first it was thought that Lieser was the target of their surveillance, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It's not surveillance, it's guarding.If Xi Cui dared to touch Lissel's hair now, the other party would definitely show up immediately.
"(I can still detect the number of people...)" If there were only one or two people, he could still handle it when he took Liesel as a hostage.But there might be as many as four people around. Even if they were rank S, it would be too reckless to challenge all of them at once. After all, Xi Cui didn't really intend to take Lieser as a hostage and use it effectively in battle.
"Lissel, have you noticed?" "What's the matter?" "The eyes and ears of guards or surveillance." "Ah, they really followed me." Judging by the way he nodded, he obviously knew the origins of those people. Although he didn't notice the breath, Lieser could guess what was going on.Xi Cui suddenly became concerned about something, so she asked, "If those people weren't here, what do you think we would be talking about?" Lissel blinked and said calmly, "Delicious black tea Let's talk about the topic." "...Have you never stopped thinking? I am obviously stronger in terms of strength, but no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to beat you?" "What do you mean?" Seeing Lieser being beaten After laughing, Xi Cui also laughed with a somewhat unconvinced expression.It is really impossible for him to compete with this person - Xi Cui looked at the C-rank adventurer in front of him, and had this unbelievable thought.
Volume IV 56 The breakfast time of the Liesel team is basically different.
It's just that they can easily have breakfast together if there are commissions or common things to do.Because Lieser always tried his best to sleep until he couldn't sleep any more, and after Jieer woke him up, he often sat at the dining table together by the way.
There is no important matter that requires the whole team to gather today, Liesel is enjoying breakfast leisurely by himself.Jie Er went out, I don't know if he went out last night and still hasn't come back, or he just left the hotel early in the morning, but it is rare to see him stay in the hotel all day long.
"My lord!" "My lord, good morning—" The breakfast was quite large, and Liesel stopped his hands, hesitating what to do.He is a man anyway, of course he can stuff these foods into his stomach, but he still feels too full if he eats too much.Hearing the childish voice calling him, Lieser turned around.It seems there is a way.
The little girl who lived in this hotel for a long time stood there with two little boys nearby.They quickly approached Lieser, holding textbooks in their hands, obviously the purpose of coming here was the same as usual.
"Can you teach us to do our homework, and I'll help you eat the rest!" "I'll help you eat too!" "You guys are good at negotiating." "Hey!" In the chair next to Lieser, the two little boys also held their books firmly and sat on the empty seats.Since Lieser reminded them, they obediently did not run around the restaurant, and would definitely sit down and eat when eating.
Several times, Lieser had seen their mother complaining angrily: Why did Lieser obediently obey what Lieser said when the child didn't listen to her?He always felt a little sorry.
"Auntie clearly knows that the nobleman can't eat it, why do you pretend to be so much?" "No, this is the amount I can barely finish, and she has completely seen through it." "Then nobleman, why don't you eat all of it?" Light?" "If you eat too much, you will fall asleep." "So it is!" The children nodded.Lieser smiled when he saw this, he was really a group of straightforward children.
As Lieser, it was impossible for him to have the concept of "giving the leftovers to others", but he was not particularly disgusted with this kind of thing.This flexible way of thinking is probably the main reason why he came to another world and can still enjoy the status quo.
"Pay attention to the way you hold the spoon, it's finally getting straight." "Ah, I forgot!" Seeing the children eating the leftover bread with relish, Lieser reminded one of the boys.The boy didn't complain, and obediently corrected the gesture of holding the spoon. Liesel also tilted his head to show his approval.The children's manners have indeed improved little by little, and their mothers are very happy to see the results.
Seeing the young girl tearing off the bread and using the butter knife proficiently, her parents were so surprised that they couldn't speak, and even ran to thank Lieser.As expected of a girl, although she is still young, she always learns graceful manners very quickly, this was Liesel's answer at the time.
"Thank you for your hospitality—" "Thank you for your hospitality, my lord!" "Well, thank you too. I'll clear up the tableware, please prepare your stationery first." "Okay—" Listening to the children's obedient replies, Lieser Pick up the tray.
These good boys were very different from his former students.Thinking of his beloved student showing off his exquisite teleportation magic skills generously every time in class, and launching a magnificent escape, Liesel thought so emotionally, and brought the bowl and plate over. "Really, I'll be fine if I come." The hostess said with a smile, grabbing the tray from his hand.
She tidied up the dinner plates neatly, wiped down the table where the children were sitting around, and left again.So, maybe this is his own inadequacy, Lieser began to review his failure experience at the ice fruit stand.He made up his mind that he must do better next time, and he did not intend to give up at all.
"My lord, sit next to me, this way!" "My honor." The girl patted the chair, and Lieser also took the opportunity to sit down.
"Before you came here, did you tell mom well?" "Mom kicked me out with a smile!" "Mom asked me to tell the nobles, please take care of me, and said that I want to give you a present, But too, uh...too panic?" It's really hard to imagine what the average housewife would give an adventurer, but what does panic mean?This is obviously not because he has become more like an adventurer.Why?Lieser tilted his head and took the textbooks handed over by the children.
"Ah, it's a little bit more difficult." Simple arithmetic, and slightly more difficult application problems.Although it is not beyond the basic range, but the difficulty has increased by a stage, so let the children stump.
"Have you tried to solve it yourself?" "I have tried! If you ask without trying, the nobleman will not answer." "A positive learning attitude is very important." Lieser is not a teacher, but an adventurer , there is no obligation to accompany children who just want to be lazy.If the three children were not going to study hard, Lieser would have dismissed them perfectly and started reading his own books.
It was the same when facing the former student, every time he disappeared without a trace, Liesel would always read a book instead of looking for him.After going on like this for a month, the students didn't run away anymore. Until now, Lieser still remembers his bitter expression at that time.
"My lord, let me show you!" "Please!" "" The three children scrambled to hand out the paper that they had worked hard to calculate, and it was really fulfilling to guide them.
"Let me see... Well, you all worked hard, and your calculations are much better than before." "Really!" "Well, really. Then let's see where the calculations are wrong..." Lieser just said this In other words, a strange and forceful voice came from outside the restaurant.
"Excuse me, is the owner of the inn here!" "Here, come!" The hostess replied as she walked towards the entrance, Liesel listened to the movement outside, and continued to guide the children regardless of her own business.They began to recalculate the wrong questions. While racking their brains, the children challenged again based on the clues given by Liesel.Just as he was watching this scene, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened.
"Mr. Lieser, is it convenient for you to come over?" "Okay." Lieser seemed to have encountered similar things before, and Lieser stood up while thinking. "You're still teaching us homework!" The children complained dissatisfiedly, Liesel apologized to them, promised with a wry smile that he would come back immediately, and then walked towards the entrance.
That's it, Lieser nodded inwardly when he saw the men blocking the entrance.The group wore silver armor with the national emblem of Parutdal engraved on it.The knight who was the guardian of the country was staring at Liesel.
Seeing the worried expression of the hostess, Lieser waved her hand and told her not to worry, and asked her to go back to work at the hotel, and then spoke to the knight standing at the front.
"My lord knight actually came to this kind of place in person, what's your business?" Seeing Lieser's leisurely smile, the other party's eyes widened in astonishment, but he immediately regained his composure.As expected of a capable knight, Lieser praised in his heart.
Most of the knights in the capital are destined to become knights.For the second and third sons of aristocratic families who cannot inherit the status of patriarch, becoming a knight is the highest honor. If there are many outstanding knights in the family, they can also shine on the lintel.
Therefore, in order not to disgrace the family, they received strict education since childhood, and they were not sloppy in civil and military aspects.The knights never slackened in training, and the strength they worked hard to cultivate has won the trust of the people.
"You are the one who led the Yidao team... the adventurer, right?" "Yes." Sure enough, he confirmed it again.
"About the Great Invasion, we have something to ask, and I hope you will come with us to the Royal City." "Is it the Great Invasion?" Lieser left all the aftermath matters to Shad, but in fact, Insay also brought them several times Follow-up information.Although I couldn't write too much detail in the letter, I heard that the aftermath work has finally come to an end recently.
At first glance, Insay's letter seemed to be just gossip, but it mentioned that the mastermind of the invasion, the Alien Dominator, had been extradited back to Salus during the founding celebration period.Between the lines reveals the resentment of wanting to personally punish him in the country, as well as the complacency of successfully obtaining all kinds of advantages in diplomacy.
In other words, the relevant incidents have finally come to an end in the capital, and the upper echelons finally have time to take care of other aspects.
"(No wonder the invitations from nobles from all sides have increased recently.)" Repairing the relationship with neighboring countries is a top priority. If the speed is restored to the original state, then the next focus of the country's high-level attention will be those beautiful women who have used powerful magic beyond human cognition.
At this time, the only "one-knife team" that had intersected with them naturally became the target of public criticism.
"Which Your Excellency invited you?" "It's a duke who wants to ask for advice." The other party sent a knight to greet him, and it seems that the purpose is not purely for beauty or power.The goblins showed their absolute power in the great invasion, did the nobles want to grasp their identities?Even if they are not on alert or regarded as a threat, the higher-ups may judge that they cannot be allowed to wander outside.
Lieser and his team have met the mastermind behind the scenes, and the other purpose of having a conversation with them is presumably to keep their mouths shut.Unexpectedly, the duke went out in person, which seemed to have alarmed the high-ranking nobles, Liesel thought to himself, smiling apologetically.
"I'm very sorry, please allow me to decline." "...What is the reason for the refusal?" The knights never thought that this trip would be rejected, and they showed a wavering look for a moment.
"I'm afraid I can't speak more clearly than Earl Shad's report. If the content of the conversation is empty, it would be bad for the Duke to laugh at it?" "The Duke also has something to think about those people who are only mentioned in the report as your friends." Ask." "That's right, we have nothing to say except what's in the report." Is the other party's goal really a goblin?No, no one would have guessed that they were fairies, only magicians with great power.Because of the violence of the alien ruler this time, perhaps it is not necessarily true that the higher-ups have stepped up vigilance against outstanding magicians.However, in the eyes of those who know the truth, the two are clearly far apart.
"Please tell your lord the Duke." Liesel urged sincerely.
"They don't pose a threat to anyone, and they don't want to show up in front of people. Although they are powerful magicians, they don't intend to show off their power." After the two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, the knight who was talking to Liesel slowed down. Slowly nodded.
Great, Liesel also narrowed his eyes and smiled when he saw this.Well, the children have almost finished solving the problem, right?He turned around and was about to turn back. It would be better to move on to the next question earlier before the children lost their concentration.
Anyway, what the other party wanted to say was finished.But just as Lieser grabbed the doorknob, the knights stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" "We will be responsible for conveying the matter about the magician, but we have not consulted about the great invasion." "About this aspect, it is exactly as the earl's report said." Through Rey conveyed that Lieser knew that Shad's report mentioned the minimum information.
In other words, the key points are all written in the report, as long as the upper management has the information, there will be no problem.Regarding the actions of Lieser and his party, if you really want to say it, it can only be explained by "adventurers show their talents in the great invasion".
As for the details not written in the report, it is impossible for him to report to the Duke in person.
"Why are you so persistent in refusing to go with me?" "The reason has been explained to you just now." "But you are too stubborn." "To be honest, there have been more and more invitations from nobles recently. If I agree this time If you go to the city with everyone, it will be difficult to refuse next time.
"Why do adventurers refuse the invitation?" "" There is no need to agree, right?Not all adventurers want to work with a high-paying client. "The knight had a vigilant look in his eyes, the reason Lieser knew it well, but still pretended not to notice it.
"My lord -- let's do the math --" "Okay, wait for me a moment." Hearing the immature voice from the other side of the door, Lieser replied, looking straight into the eyes of the knight.Seeing the other party's stern eyes flicker slightly, Lieser showed a calm smile.
"Besides, I'm teaching the children to do their homework now." He replied calmly, and the knights froze in place for an instant, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
They really can't believe it.These people are knights who swear allegiance to the country and the king. Because of this, they couldn't believe for a moment that someone would refuse the summoning of the country's high-level officials on the grounds of children's reading clubs.
It seemed that they were not good at dealing with unexpected situations, Liesel laughed amusedly, and then spoke softly as if whispering.
"During the great invasion, I just happened to appear in front of the lord, do you suspect that I secretly conspired with the mastermind?
"The moment the monster breaks through the solid city gate and invades the city, the magic shield immediately unfolds on the square, as if the timing is right. No matter how good a magician is, before casting such a powerful magic shield, he must do Prepare accordingly.
If the person who prepared the magic shield was a powerful person from the commercial country, it could be interpreted as a precautionary measure for emergencies; but it is different if adventurers and their friends are involved.Being able to prepare the magic shield before the incident happened meant that they knew the mastermind's intentions, so the knights were wary.
Perhaps they thought that the reason why Liesel was unwilling to go with him was because there was something ulterior about it.
"I won't say that I did this out of pure goodwill, and I can understand everyone's thoughts. But..." Lieser understood that no matter what he said now, it was impossible to completely clear up the suspicion in this regard.Once the doubts are endless, and the knights' thoughts are justifiable, he even feels that this kind of speculation is quite reasonable.
But...he tapped the corner of his mouth thoughtfully.For the sake of the children who were complaining boredly in the restaurant, "Isn't it alright?", Lieser also wanted to avoid procrastinating this question and answer.Since you can't end this conversation on your own, you can only try to get the other party to go home on their own initiative.
"...This kind of thinking makes people uncomfortable." Just this sentence is enough.
The knights were born nobles, and they were calm on the surface, but they could easily detect the hidden intentions behind the words.Since they were adhering to the dignified reserve of a knight, Liesel said so, they couldn't do anything.
Hurting the dignity of the other party, and forcing the other party to go with them... such a reckless and rude move, it is impossible for them who value their reputation to do it.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to insult you." "I am, please forgive me for speaking so rudely to Lord Knight." In fact, Lissel didn't mind at all.He immediately recovered his polite attitude, and then added something as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Can I trouble you to pass on two things to the higher-ups?" "...What's the matter?" "First, we have our own discretion when it comes to keeping our mouths shut. And..." Lissel and the others had no intention of spreading it around The news of the mastermind behind the scenes does not intend to interfere with this matter.
"If you need to entrust by name, please do it through the guild." After finishing speaking, Lieser turned and returned to the restaurant, this time without looking back.
He answered at least the questions the other party wanted to ask, so that the knight would not return empty-handed and be blamed by the higher-ups.Lieser used, respected, and protected their self-esteem as knights, and these people were not so dull that they didn't understand Lieser's intentions.This time, the knights didn't stop him, greeted the hostess and walked out of the hotel.
They faced the front with proper demeanor, and they were still the envious knights, just like when they came.
"It's really a group of people with excellent abilities, who know when to back down." They seemed to have come in a carriage, and there was a neighing of horses outside the hotel, followed by the sound of wheels gradually moving away.
"Is that the knight who came here just now? Wow, this is the first time I have seen it so close!" "Do you like the knight?" "Well, it feels very powerful!" "The armor is very handsome!" Do you like it?" Liesel sat down on the chair leisurely after taking the answer sheet from the children rushing to hand it over.
Given his status as a knight, they could have sneered at him, saying he was just a mere adventurer.But they are still willing to respect each other, observe etiquette, and are respectable gentlemen.As for him deliberately taking advantage of this point, Lieser has no way to refute it.
"The knight is very handsome." "That's right—" The children expressed their impressions of their embrace in the most understandable words.
Orod sits at the apex of these knights, and as Rey said, he must have been quite a talent.I really want to see what Jie Er would look like when there is no Jie Er in front of him.
Lieser smiled and said to the excited children, "You guys are doing great." Right now, the guild is buzzing with tension.
A touch of bright red, opposite to the gorgeous emerald.Everyone couldn't help being attracted by those two people, and at the same time ran out of the guild as if fleeing.No one would have thought that someone would dare to provoke class S. If it was a small character who was beaten to the ground three or two times, the onlookers would be more or less willing to make a fuss... But the challenger in front of him is not small, and being involved in this fight is not a big deal Kidding.
"I said you, did you say something contemptuous to our captain?" Irevan threw the knife repeatedly in one hand, and snorted provocatively.
"Ah, you mean about the hostage?" Xi Cui confirmed without hesitation.
The knife deftly thrown into the air was still in Yi Raven's hand, and at the same time, Xi Cui felt a chill-like murderous aura.This murderous look really doesn't match this person, Xi Cui just wondered, and immediately realized that she was wrong.
Behind Irevan, a guild official saw two powerful figures preparing to fight, and was about to flee first, but at this moment, Stad was tied to a chair—and that Stad was watching indifferently. here.
"(Almost forgot, he seems to be very close to Liesel.)" I never thought that the staff member called "Absolute Zero" would be so close to someone, and Xi Cui still can't believe it.Moreover, he had already vaguely noticed that the murderous aura emitted by that person was not at all like an ordinary guild employee.
Xi Cui maintained her usual attitude, paying attention to Stard's actions out of the corner of her eyes, and at the same time, she did not take her attention away from Irevan who was directly in front of her.
"Oh, you just planted several eyes and ears around Lieser? They are too good at erasing breath, right? I can barely count the number." "I didn't ask you that." Raven whirled his hands back.
An action intended to attract the eye.But Xi Cui understood that once he looked at the knife, everything would be over, and the other party would use all means other than the knife to attack him immediately.
"I have no intention of that at all now, and have I apologized to Lissel?" "What did the captain say?" He said with a smile, "Anyway, you haven't done anything to me yet, I won't mind." It's." "Yes...that's very much like the captain's style." Irevan looked away as if giving up.The next moment - the tip of the knife was already approaching Xi Cui's eyes, obviously he threw the knife while keeping his wrist still.Xi Cui pulled out the dagger at her waist and flicked it away, then raised her arm to resist the whip-like kick.He heard his bones creaking slightly, but he didn't pay attention to it. The other hand immediately spread out the longbow to block the sword aimed at the neck.
For a moment, the eyes of the two intersected each other.
"But I just don't like you, so there's nothing I can do about it?" "I never seriously thought about kidnapping him...that's a stupid plan to kill myself." The sound of cracking metal and percussion sounded one after another , In the confrontation that is difficult to catch with the naked eye, the intermingled dialogue between the two appears to be particularly calm.
"Some things, even if that person allows it, I can't forgive it." "I have no intention of harming Lissel. Hey, you can almost trust me, right?" "So, I just said I won't care about you What do you think?" "If it's just to vent your anger, isn't this too radical?" One person used a bow as a shield and brandished a dagger, while the other threw a small knife and hacked with a sword.The martial arts of both sides are beyond ordinary people, but others can see that Xi Cui is at a disadvantage.
Weapon suitability is too poor.Xi Cui thought calmly, avoiding the sword blade that was stabbing towards the eyeball, and then swung the longbow violently to open the distance.
"I also understand how you value the captain. I was wrong this time, and I apologize." Xi Cui still frowned slightly, but he felt sorry from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing the other party's blunt apology, Irevan lost interest.There was no point in continuing, he clicked his tongue and put away his weapon, Xi Cui also put down his dagger upon seeing this.
Neither side was serious.Now that Liesel has forgiven Xi Cui, Yi Raven can only accept it.If he really wanted to take his life, Irevan would not choose to provoke him in the middle of the guild hall.
"You pay for the guild's repairs." "The holes are almost all made by your knife? Did you do it on purpose? Hey..." Watching him leave the guild with his snake-like red ponytail, Xi Cui The face with an angry expression looked even more unconvinced again.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have avoided those knives that Irevan threw unceremoniously, he should have knocked them down.They have all been promoted to rank S and have disputes with other adventurers, and they have to help the guild clean up the aftermath and pay for repairs. The captain will definitely be angry when he hears this, and will be laughed at by others.
Even though she knew it was her own fault, Xi Cui still approached the counter a little bit helplessly.
"Hey, how much is the repair cost?" "Don't talk about it, please tell me what's going on with the hostage." I originally planned to use him to threaten the guild—how could Xi Cui say that?
If this is also in that guy's calculation, then his character is really bad.Xi Cui grumbled in her heart, forced an amount slightly higher than estimated to the counter, and left the guild quickly.
It was a little before Sitri met Irevan at the Adventurer's Guild.
In a reception room of the guild, Jie Er frowned fiercely, sucked a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath skillfully, and lit the fire.Since meeting Lieser, he deliberately cut down on a few cigarettes, but he didn't feel any discomfort, which even surprised him.
Even so, if you ask him if there is a way to stop smoking at all, that's another matter.As long as Lieser didn't ask him to quit smoking, Jieer probably couldn't do without tobacco.
"I didn't expect you to really want to go to the appointment." "What stupid things are you talking about, you didn't ask me to come?" Hearing the other party say this with a somewhat interested expression, Jie Er replied with a cigarette in his mouth.
The two are not meeting for the first time, the other party's popularity is too high, but this is indeed their first conversation. The captain of the S-rank team sat on the sofa opposite Jie Er, holding hands calmly.
"So, what's the matter?" Facing people whose age and class were above him, Jie Er showed no signs of timidity.The other party didn't mind, just smiled calmly.
"Our family, Xi Cui, has been taken care of by you. That child is too talented, and his class has risen early, so he can't blend in with the surroundings... Maybe it's because you are not afraid of him and not restrained. This attitude makes him very happy. , I often hear him talking about your captain recently." This is why Jie Er is sitting in front of him at the moment.Lieser had recently been in contact with an S-rank adventurer, and this person in front of him was the captain of that S-rank.If not, even if he heard Stadt tell him that "there is a class S waiting for you in the reception room", Jieer would not go to the appointment.
He had roughly heard about it from Lieser.This person intends to get married as an opportunity to resign from the adventurer's job, and the guild is trying to keep him... Also, he has heard of the reason why Xi Cui approached Lissel.
"Let's talk about the ugly things first, don't think about using me as your bargaining chip." He didn't come here to chat, Jie Er cut to the point.Sure enough, the man smiled wryly, and Jie Er turned to him with very sharp eyes.
"Of course, I won't do this without asking for your consent, so I invite you to come here to negotiate." "You think so, the guild may not." He extinguished more than half of the cigarettes left , said sarcastically.The captain looked embarrassed when he heard this, and folded his arms.
"The guild leader here is not obsessed with power. He told us that as long as we go to the guild a few more times, the headquarters should also give up... But we haven't received a positive answer." "This kind of thing doesn't need the headquarters. Permission." "Oh, don't say that, you have to take into account the positions of both parties." Adventurers above Rank A only need to ask for the permission of the guild leader to withdraw from the membership.But the influence of class S is too huge, it is really difficult for a guild leader to make a decision on his own.
That being the case, the guild should have stipulated this from the very beginning?This is Irevan's view.Liesel believes that if adventurers can choose to respond in the way of "Who cares about you, I quit!", then there should be fewer troubles if you choose a person who is more close to the people like the guild leader to take charge.
"The headquarters said that we hope that we will wait until the next S-level team is cultivated before leaving." "I don't know how many years the next S-level team will appear." "Right? The guild leader said the same. Although you can choose to refuse firmly , but Xi Cui and the others will continue to stay in this business." I hope that their reputation will not be implicated before leaving.The man said with a wry smile, Jie Er frowned displeased.
"Anyway, I shouldn't be involved." "Haha, there is no other candidate." Since there are fewer S-level adventurers, it is enough to find someone to replace them, so they will take a fancy to Jie Er.There are rumors that Jieer is the strongest adventurer today, as long as he rises to rank S, it will definitely be enough to fill the vacancy.
This negotiation is just to discuss this matter?Jie Er raised his hand to cover his mouth, and lit a second cigarette.
Illustration p265 "Seeing that you have stayed at the B level and have not moved, do you plan to go up to the S level?" Between the fingers, move away from the lips.
"...No at first. But it's different recently, it will go up sooner or later." "Sooner or later, how long?" He recalled the figure that was firmly engraved in his mind, and remembered that that person once declared noblely: No one is allowed to use himself as an excuse to derogate the value of Jie'er.
If you really want to say that, Jie Er himself is the same.He didn't want to lower the value of Liesel because of his low class, even if the guild's adventurer class was just an evaluation made by others, which was not worth mentioning.
If asked whether he was satisfied with staying in class B, he couldn't be sure.Since Liesel said that S rank is suitable for him, he should be promoted to S rank.
"The guildmaster said that with the strength of a sword, it is not impossible to immediately rise to the S rank." The wording seemed ambiguous, and the man spoke cautiously.
"You have already accumulated countless merits, and you can successfully handle the entrustment of A-rank. After you reach A-rank, you will definitely be able to advance to S-rank." "So?" "Can you please speed up your promotion and immediately go up to S-rank?" ?” Jie Er reached out and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Very selfish." "I know." The man's eyes were firm, and he was ready to be accused.Even if Jie Er draws his sword and strikes now, the man will say that he is the one who is wrong.But Jie Er is not such a gentle man, and will not be moved by such a small matter.
"It's not good for me." "I'll make arrangements for you to be promoted to S rank immediately." "That's bad." Jie Er said it as a matter of course, and the man's eyes widened in disbelief.For a character who will rise to rank S sooner or later, this really cannot be regarded as a definite benefit...but he didn't expect Jie Er to conclude that this is a disadvantage.
Does this point have anything to do with the "it will take a while" he just mentioned?
